I visited Rouen for a week in summer 2012, for work experience practicing my French. I wanted to see what it was like living on my own in a foreign country, and I had the chance to work a few hours every day. While the work itself wasn't too strenuous, speaking for yourself all the time was a massive shock. In other words, I learnt how to paraphrase a sentence when someone has not understood what you've said the first time. This shows you how to vary your vocabulary, since very often I found myself saying something numerous times!

My trip to Rouen was a truly unforgettable experience, I learnt some valuable lessons, made some friends and got to explore the city all by myself! I loved having free reign, and I spent a lot of time admiring the beautiful cathedral.

Thanks for reading! Any French corrections would be appreciated too! (: xx
